CALLIE
I arrived at the VIP section 112 of the club where we had agreed to meet, my heart pounding harder than the bass shaking the walls. I paused at the door, smoothing down my dress as I glanced inside. And then, I saw him. He sat casually on the couch, sipping a drink. His appearance took me by surprise- too refined, too elegant, and way too good-looking for someone in his line of work. "Get it together, Callie," I whispered, straightening my back and summoning a confidence I didn’t feel as I walked toward him. “You’re late,” he said, raising his head to meet my gaze with those gorgeous brown eyes. Ignoring the formality, I sat into the seat across from him and crossed my arms. “Let’s skip the small talk.” His brows lifted slightly, but he didn’t reply. “I didn’t come here for pleasantries,” I continued. “I came here for one thing. So let’s get to it.” He gave me a surprised look, but I didn’t care. Reaching for the zipper of my dress, I tugged it down, and it slid off my shoulders, leaving me in nothing but my matching lace bra and panties. His drink halted midway to his lips as his eyes widened in shock. “I’m all yours,” I whispered, standing tall in front of him. “So, let’s get started. Now.” He stared at me for a long moment, his drink still frozen halfway to his lips. Then, as if coming to his senses, he placed the glass on the table and stepped closer. Slowly, he slid his arms around me, lifting me effortlessly and setting me down on the table. His eyes locked on mine for a brief second before he leaned in, and his lips touched mine. The kiss was soft, gentle, and not rushed. Heat coursed through me as his hands trailed along my back, drawing me closer and anchoring me to him. My breath hitched as his fingers expertly traced the edges of my bra. With a flick, he unhooked it and threw it to the ground. "Oh, you're so sexy," he muttered, cupping my breast with his hands while his tongue drew circles on my nipple. My hand found its way into his pants, and I gasped when I felt his dick- it was huge. "Can you come have me now?" I said, feeling my pussy dripping already. I was so turned on at this point. He didn't say a word. He just kept his eyes locked on mine, slowly pulling off my panties before unhooking his pants and pulling out his dick. I won’t lie, I had never seen a dick this big before. Well, I had only seen one a long time ago. He then dragged me closer and went deep into me. I let out a loud moan, biting my lower lip to keep myself from screaming too loudly. He kept thrusting slowly at first, then increased his pace. My head wanted to explode from the pleasure I felt. The way he kept staring at me while he fucked me made the pleasure even more intense. Who was this guy? I got down from the table and put my dress back on. What did I just do? Oh, I really enjoyed it. “How much do I owe you?” I asked as I zipped up my dress. He smirked, clearly amused by the question. “Well, I….” Before he could finish, the door burst open, and a woman stormed in. “Who the hell are you?” she demanded, glaring at me. I blinked, taken aback. “Excuse me?” “I said, who are you, and what are you doing here?” she repeated. “This is my client. I was running late, and….” “Your client?” I asked, trying to make sense of what she was saying. “Yes. Mr Sebastian,” she said, gesturing toward the man who now looked far too entertained for my liking. My eyes widened in horror. “Wait a minute. This isn’t VIP section 112?” “No,” she snapped. “This is 121. Didn’t you check the damn sign?” I turned to Sebastian, my face heating with humiliation. “You knew, didn’t you? You knew I was in the wrong room!” He raised his hands in mock surrender, that infuriating smirk still plastered on his face. “I tried to tell you,” he said calmly. “But you were... persuasive.” “You’re unbelievable!” I screamed at him. “Why didn’t you stop me?” He leaned back against the couch. “Would you have listened?” I opened my mouth to argue but realized he was right. I’d been too focused on taking control to let him get a word in. “You... you’re despicable!” I spat, grabbing my bag. “I can’t believe this.” I glared at him, as my hands trembled. “You’re the worst kind of man,” I continued, trying my best to keep my voice steady. “Sitting there like some smug, arrogant bastard while I made a complete fool of myself. You could’ve tried harder to stop me!” He didn’t budge. Instead he sat there with that smirk on his lips and that alone fueled my anger. “You think this is funny?” I snapped. “You’re pathetic. A joke. You probably get your kicks from letting women embarrass themselves, don’t you? Does it make you feel powerful? Does it?” Sebastian’s calm demeanor didn’t waver. “Are you done?” he asked, his tone infuriatingly calm. “No, I’m not done!” I shouted. “You’re a slimy, self-serving creep who doesn’t deserve a shred of decency. And your name? Sebastian? What are you, a third-rate romance novel villain?” His lips twitched, like he was holding back laughter, and I lost it. “Don’t you dare laugh!” I pointed a finger at him. “You don’t get to laugh, you smug bastard. You’re nothing but a low life.” Sebastian folded his arms, leaning back casually. “Feel better now?” I let out a frustrated growl, grabbed my bag, and stormed toward the door. “You’ll regret this,” I muttered, throwing a final glare over my shoulder. “Mark my words, Sebastian, you’ll regret this.” He didn’t respond, just watched me leave with that maddening smirk still on his face. ******************** SEBASTIAN The next morning, I sat in the office that would officially become mine today, leaning back in the oversized leather chair and trying to focus on my coffee instead of the mountain of work that awaited me. First day as CEO of this branch. I still wasn’t thrilled about it, but my father’s word was law. The door opened, and Lucas strolled in like he owned the place. “Morning, Mr CEO,” he said, grinning as he sat in the chair across from me. “What’s with that smug look? Did the promotion come with an extra dose of arrogance?” I smirked, swirling my coffee. “Let’s just say I had an interesting night.” “Oh?” Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Do tell. You don’t usually look this entertained on a Monday morning.” I couldn’t help the grin spreading across my face as the memory surfaced and, I told him everything. Lucas stared at me like I’d just told him the wildest story he’d ever heard. “You let her go off on you? You? The guy who doesn’t take orders from anyone?” I shrugged, a grin tugging at my lips. “It was… refreshing. I don’t think I’ve ever let a woman order me around like that. But then I really wish I could see her again.” Lucas shook his head, still grinning. “You’re insane. You’re never seeing her again, though. So snap out of it. You’ve got bigger things to deal with… like running this branch.” I groaned, leaning back in my chair. “Don’t remind me. Did my father really have to transfer you to another branch? I could’ve used a familiar face here.” “You’ll survive,” Lucas said, waving me off. “Besides, you’ve got a top-notch assistant coming your way. She’ll make life easier for you.” “Is that so?” I muttered, taking another sip of coffee. Lucas nodded. “She’s efficient, smart, and not the kind to let you slack off. She should be here any minute.” Before I could reply, a knock sounded at the door. Lucas grinned, gesturing toward it. “That’s her now.” I turned toward the door as it opened, and when I saw who walked in, my coffee cup nearly slipped from my hand. It was her. The woman from the club. And judging by the way her eyes widened when she saw me, she recognized me too.CALLIEI slapped Sebastian’s chest, the frustration bubbling inside me. “You should’ve just told me all this sooner! You could’ve spared me all the stress and drama.”He winced slightly, “I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you’d be scared. You wouldn’t have agreed to let my guy shoot her. Not here, not today.”I was about to retort when I glanced around, my gaze landing on the guests who still remained eerily silent. My heart tightened with a sudden wave of discomfort. “Wait… have the guests been informed about all of this? About what’s happening?”Sebastian gave me that damn smile of his, the one that made everything seem like it was under control. “Oh, they know. I had to tell them. I didn’t want there to be chaos when it all went down.”I narrowed my eyes. “You’re not serious,” I muttered, lightly hitting his head playfully. "You had to make sure everything went according to plan, even the guests."He chuckled softly. “Callie, you’re the one who’s always thinking things throu
CALLIEMy eyes were locked on Charlotte, blood staining the carpet around her. Why wasn’t anyone else reacting? Then, without warning, the doors burst open.Police officers flooded the room. I didn’t even have time to breathe before Nora walked in. She was followed by two other officers, their hands ready on their holsters.She moved toward Charlotte, her eyes scanning the scene slowly. The entire room seemed to tense as the officers approached Charlotte, who was still writhing on the floor, her hands desperately clutching at her bleeding legs."Charlotte Lawson," Nora’s voice rang out, echoing through the room, "You are under arrest for attempted murder. You’re also charged with the murder of Damon Wright and the murder of your son, Lucas Lawson."My heart skipped a beat. Attempted murder? Who’s Damon? Charlotte let out a painful, strangled scream as Nora and the officers knelt beside her. Her eyes were wide with terror, disbelief written all over her face. She tried to push hersel
CALLIEIt was my day. My fucking wedding day.They were doing my makeup, but I couldn’t stop staring at my reflection. The brushes moved across my face like they were supposed to, but my mind kept drifting, wondering how the hell I had ended up here. This was supposed to be the day I’d dreamed about since I was a little girl, the perfect celebration of love and happiness. But instead, all I could think about was how surreal it felt. Was this really happening? Was I really about to marry Sebastian?The makeup artist was still blending foundation on my cheeks, oblivious to the whirlwind in my head. The soft smell of flowers, the faint noise of voices around me…it all seemed like a dream.How did I get here? How had I gone from feeling like I was losing everything to standing here, about to walk down the aisle with the man who’d promised me forever?I caught my reflection again, my eyes roaming over the dress. It was beautiful, something I never thought I’d get to wear.The past few mon
SEBASTIANI kept my eyes on the road, but my attention was mostly on Callie. She was sitting there quiet, her fingers tapping nervously against her knee. I knew she was still upset about Charlotte… hell, I was too…but this surprise... it was meant to take her mind off things. It was meant to make her forget all about that witch and focus on us.I glanced over at her, and for a moment, our eyes met. I could see the worry still clouding her thoughts, but her lips curled up just slightly. That was all I needed. I wasn’t giving up. I had promised her everything, and I would keep that promise.I loved Callie more than anything. The thought of her standing by my side for the rest of our lives filled me with a sense of pride I couldn’t put into words. But today… today was about proving it. I wasn’t just going to let some meddling woman ruin our joy. Not today. Not ever.I pulled up to the curb, the tires rolling over the gravel, and stopped in front of the building. My heart was racing, my
CALLIEThe bell chimed softly as we stepped into the cake shop, the rich scent of vanilla and chocolate filled the air. The baker, a cheerful woman in her forties with flour dusting her apron, welcomed us with a bright smile.“Good afternoon!” she greeted. “You must be the Thompsons?”“That’s us,” Sebastian replied, wrapping an arm around my waist. “Or at least, soon-to-be Thompsons.”I smiled, still thinking about my wedding dress. I had just bought my dream wedding gown… a simple but stunning straight dress. I couldn’t wait to wear it as I walked down the aisle to marry the man standing beside me.The baker ushered us to a cozy table near the counter, where a variety of cake samples had already been laid out. “Alright, let’s get started. These are some of our most popular flavors. Feel free to let me know if there’s something specific you’d like to try.”We sat down, and I immediately reached for a small fork, eager to dive in. Sebastian, on the other hand, leaned back in his chair
CALLIEI was in the kitchen, still in my pajamas, hair tied up in a loose bun, trying to focus on slicing tomatoes without nicking my fingers.The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, and I found it comforting as I hummed softly to myself.I was just about to layer the slices onto the bread when a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind, pulling me gently against a warm chest.“My fiancée,” Sebastian’s deep voice purred into my ear, sending a shiver down my spine, “what are you cooking?”I smiled, not even bothering to turn around. “My fiancé,” I replied, mimicking his tone, “I’m making sandwiches for breakfast.”He chuckled, the sound vibrating against my back. “Sandwiches?” he murmured, his lips grazing my neck. “I don’t want to eat sandwiches.”I paused, raising an eyebrow as I turned slightly to look at him. “Oh? What do you want to eat then?”Sebastian grinned, his dark eyes gleaming mischievously as he leaned closer. “You.”I rolled my eyes, though I cou
SEBASTIANCallie looked at me, her eyes filled with concern. "What's wrong?" she asked gently, sensing the shift in my mood.I let out a deep breath, leaning back in my chair. "Charlotte was released from prison."She blinked at me, clearly not processing the news at first. "What? How? Why?""Yeah," I sighed. "Turns out, they didn’t have enough to hold her. So, she’s free."Callie’s eyebrows shot up, her lips parting in shock. "She’s free? Just like that?"I nodded. "Yeah, just like that. But it’s fine. I’m meeting with Nora tomorrow. We’ll figure this out."She leaned forward, concern etched on her face. "But if she’s out, doesn’t that complicate things? What if she comes after you again?"I smiled, a slow grin spreading across my face. "Charlotte thinks she’s smart, but I’m smarter. I’ve got a plan. A backup plan."She lifted her head. "Backup plan?"I leaned in a little, lowering my voice. "Plan B. It’s time to put it into motion."Callie sat back in her chair, eyes locked on mine
CALLIE The videographer approached us, his camera now lowered. “Congratulations,” he said warmly, extending his hand to Sebastian. “This turned out beautifully. I’ll have the footage edited and sent to you by tonight.”“Thanks, Matt,” Sebastian replied, shaking his hand. “You did an incredible job.”Matt nodded at me with a kind smile. “You’re going to love this when you see it. Congratulations again.”“Thank you,” I said, still slightly dazed by the realization that this entire moment had been documented. As Matt packed up his equipment and walked away, Sebastian turned to me, his hand resting lightly on my back.“Come on,” he said, steering me toward a table set up a few feet away.The table was set with twinkling candles, a crisp white tablecloth, and an array of dishes and wines.I stopped short, taking it all in. “Sebastian… this is incredible.”“I wanted it to be perfect,” he said simply, pulling out a chair for me. “For you.”The music continued to play softly in the backgroun
CALLIESebastian parked the car in a reserved spot, cutting the engine before stepping out. I barely had time to open my door before he was already there, holding out his hand for me like some kind of gallant prince.“Seriously?” I teased, slipping my hand into his as he helped me out of the car. “You’re making me feel like we’re about to walk a red carpet.”He chuckled, his grip gentle as we strolled toward the venue. The pathway was illuminated with fairy lights that twinkled like stars. The soft hum of live music floated through the cool evening air.I glanced at him, shaking my head with a bemused smile. “Sebastian, I don’t understand anymore. Isn’t this just dinner? You’re acting like this is some kind of royal event.”He stopped walking for a moment, turning to face me. His dark eyes softened as he brushed a strand of hair off my face. “It’s not just dinner, Callie. You’ve been through so much lately, and I wanted to give you something... magical. You deserve it.”My heart did t
